Abstract :
The present study aims to determine the association between a genetic polymorphism of GSTP1 (rs1695) and the risk of periodontitis. This study used a cross-sectional design and included subjects from the South Indian population. A total of 100 individuals enrolled at Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, Tamil Nadu were included in this study. The participants were divided into control (n=50) and periodontitis (n=50) based on clinical examination. Blood samples were collected. Genotyping was performed using specific primers spanning the polymorphic site. The genotypic frequencies for the rs1695 polymorphism were not significantly different between cases and controls.
